CHAPTER SEVENTY SIX

When Logan and I walked or rolled into the kitchen, it suddenly gets silent, "This is embarrassing" I said looking around the table, realizing that all eyes were on us, smiling mischievously,

Lifting my eyes to see Logan's just as curious as I was. Deciding to ignore them, I turned to Mrs Stanley because I'm hungry.

"Morning Mrs. Stanley," I smiled when I turn to greet her.

She stood shaking her head looking between Logan and I in disappointment.

I turn to Logan again, who just shrugged his shoulder and pulled out a chair next to me at the breakfast table.

Lifting my eyes again, I started to feel self-conscious, especially with the way Justin was grinning. Raising my hands in surrender, "what?" I yelled and everyone turned to Mrs. Stanley, who was fighting a smile.

Mrs. Stanley approached Logan and I, "when I leave a clean kitchen before I go to bed," she started, "I expect to return to a clean kitchen in the morning." Mrs. Stanley continued and I turned to slap Logan on his back when I remembered last night on the counter. My eyes automatically flew to the counter where Logan and I were.

Embarrass, I slap his leg, "oh my God" I whispered softly, covering my face while everyone at the table erupted in laughter at my expense.

I glared at Logan, "it's his fault" I accused Logan, who was laughing his f***ing ass off, at my red face.

Logan reached out and kissed me hard on the lips in front of everyone.

"I beg to differ sweetheart" dad chimed in laughing, "it takes two to tango." he give each of the guys at the table high five and reached across to high five Logan, who joined in the fun.

"Asshole" I muttered under my breath, glaring at everyone, wishing I could run out of the kitchen. Mrs. Stanley placed a plate with toast and an omelet and a slice of cheese cake, leaning down to whisper in my ear.

"I know you didn't get to eat any of the cake," she smiles warmly. I look into her eyes and I felt happy to see that something brought her some joy. Turning to the rest of the guys at the table, "anyone wants a slice of cheesecake?" she offers.

Slamming his hands down on the table, "hell no" Justin continue laughing, "no I think it might be contaminated with" he pauses, "with, you know what."

With redden cheeks, I turn to mom, only to see that she is also enjoying the fun at my expense. Then mom added decorations on the cake.

"Jamie, grams must be crying on gramps shoulder because you of all people broke the rule." Jer laughs, "we all had to take turns sanitizing the counter." Jer pretended to whine.

Covering my face again, I yelled, "NOTHING HAPPENED!" hoping the entire village heard me.

"Really?" mom joins in, "then vampires attacked you last night?" mom comments, adding to everyone's amusement.

Pounding the table softly to get everyone's attention, "hey" Logan shouts, "leave my wife alone, otherwise, I might end up on a couch tonight." he chuckles, giving me a one-sided hug. "They are just jealous." he whispers, kissing me again.

I started eating my omelette and toast, as everyone started forgetting about my sex life and they discuss the business of the day. Destroying the plans of Logan's grandfather.

I looked at Logan whose biting on his toast, listening intently to his father's suggestion and advise.

He only recently came home from the hospital and he has been on the go since and I have just added to it by being a bitch to him. I put a hand on his thigh, hoping he knows that I am supporting him.

Putting his hand to cover mines, "I love you!" he leans closer and whisper, kissing me on the cheek this time.

"Hey" Justin shouts again.

Mom, glares at Justin, "technically, they are still on their honeymoon, so leave them alone." mom chides him.

Cameron, whose been enjoying the fun with everyone else spoke for the first time. "Logan, aren't you going to the office today?" Cameron asks, looking at Logan's casual dress attire.

Before answering Logan looks at me and then at Jer, taking a sip of coffee before responding to Cameron's question.

"I resigned yesterday and I spent the balance of the day signing of cases and reassigning cases to other attorneys." Logan explains to everyone but kept his eyes on mines. "I have spoken to the district attorney's office and offered my service pro-bono on selected cases until I decided what I do next, or until I deal with grandfather." Logan adds.

Mom looks at dad and then at Logan again, concern etched on her face and her eyes full of worry, "what happened sweetheart?" mom asks, reaching across to touch his hands.

Logan looks at me again with a small smile and continues, "grandfather approached the firm requesting that I fight a case on behalf of him and he offered the firm ten million when I win." shaking his head, he drinks some coffee again.

We all sat in silence after Logan's bombshell, but I had to know, having a heavy heart about his decision. Does it have anything to do with me?

"What was the case?" I asked, stabbing my cheesecake with the fork in my hand.

Covering my hands to stop what I was doing, "grandfather wants me to fight the family court for him to obtain guardianship of the minor Jessica Scott." Logan tells us with disgust look, that everyone other than Jer and I shared.

Exchanging glances with Jer, "so you were forced to resigned because you refused?" Jer looked at Logan as he awaited his answer.

With a look of disgust, "are you kidding me?" Logan responded to Jer's question. I have questions but I will wait until we are alone.

"Then why did you resign Logan?" mom asks curiously.

"Conflict of interest."
